Learn by Doing

We learn by growing food alongside neighbors. Weekly from April through October we work in the garden together. This is a unique time for people of all skills to ask each other questions, observe, experiment and share insights and inspiration. Dig In! is a place where we try new ideas, explore old-time traditions, watch how things change and find ways to do it better next season. Whenever you come is the right time to be at Dig In! and whatever you can do to help is wonderful.

Teach the Next Generation

We believe in the power of youth to grow the future

Through outreach, education, and demonstrations Dig In! provides the next generation of gardeners skills to be successful, and works to instill passion and understanding of sustainable agriculture systems throughout the community. Students from Mountain Heritage High School work at Dig In! and help start plants in the school’s greenhouse. Students from a Montessori school, pre-college summer programs, mission trips, community college classes, university programs, all come to Dig In! to understand how food is grown and harvested in the Mountains.
